Energy Efficiency Measures Implemented

Assesses whether the organization has implemented tangible measures to improve energy efficiency in its facilities, demonstrating a commitment to responsible resource use and reducing its carbon footprint. Includes both capital measures (retrofits) and operational controls (scheduling, setpoints, commissioning) aligned to actual occupancy patterns such as prayer/service timetables. These efforts reflect the Islamic duty of khilafah (stewardship) over the earth by actively avoiding israf (extravagance) in energy consumption, upholding the sacred amanah (trust) of environmental protection.
